Amazons in Action

Years active	1980 - 2000

Amazons in Action was a English magazine published quarterly from 1980 until 2000 by the company Swish Publications. It had its origins in the Aggressive Women magazine which ran to only 12 issues before being successfully re-branded as Amazons in Action (which started with issue 13).

It focused on female fighting such as boxing and wrestling (fantasy and competitive) with reports on live events and reviews of video tapes. The magazine also carried interviews with notable producers and fighters.

The final edition of the magazine was published in August 2000, by which time it had become unsustainable due to most news and information going online for free.
